KOW FOR THE HOUSE.
The portage railroad bill passed the
senate yesterday, and bids fair to pass
the house. It will require vigilant
watching however, and earnest work.
The press of Eastern Oregon are unani
mous in the demand for an open river
and the legislator who has the hardi
dood to stand against this pressure will
find himself in office for the last time.
The question has assumed a political
phase to this extent, that Jthe man or
party that votes against the bill will
eeek in vain for political friends in East
ern Oregon. We state this not as a
threat but as a fact which the circum
stances bear out. Every board of trade,
every city government, every Farmers'
Alliance meeting, east of the Cascades,
has expressed itself in favor of this
measure. Republicans, Farmers' Alli
ance, and democrats meet on one common
ground in a common cause, for the good
of all. There is no politics in the price
of a bushel of (wheat, no party lines in
discriminating and unjust freight rates,
no political axes to grind in the demand
for an open river. The money to put on
a line of boats will be forthcoming in
twenty-four hours after the governor
traces his delicate and longed for signa
ture at the bottom of the portage rail
road bill, and ninety days will not pass
before the boats are running. Easte r
Oregon expresses its gratitude to the
senate, and stands ready to take the
house to its bosom, when it has done its
duty and given us an uncontrolled and
uncontrollable outlet to the sea.
BRIBERY ON TAP.
I he legislature of Washington has
plenty of work to occupy the balance of
the session in examining the acts of its
members in the recent senatorial elec
tion. Assemblyman Frame onenlv
charges that he was offered $5,000, and
would have gotten $5,000 to cast his vote
for Squire, and gives the name of the
parties that attempted to bribe him.
4J . T .
cuitLur ixmg says ne knows two sena
tors who were bribed to vote for Squire,
and mat one of them had a check for
$2,000 for doing so, but lieooming fright
ened lore it up, and another senator re
covered tlio pieces and now has them
to be produced at the proper time
xnere can oe no doubt in the light of
these statements but that bribery has
oeen on tap in Olympia and that a
number of the law-makers imbibed
freely from the barrel. An investigation
is going on and it is to be hoped that its
managers will escape the temptations
which caused the examination to be
made. Bribery has been so apparently
general that the public will be exceed
ingly suspicious of any verdict other
than "guilty as charged." If the un
bribed legislators have any sense of
shame left they will memorialize con
gress to submit an amendment to the
constitution to the people providing for
electing the United States senators by
the people. Such a memorial would
come with peculiar grace from the
Washington, legislature, and would
arry deep rooted conviction if presented
by the honorable senator recently re
turned by that body to his seat in the
senate. Watson C. Squire, Unjted
State senator from Washington, asking
congress to submit an amendment to
tne constitution which would prevent
his ever again returning to that bjdy,
would be doing a small measure of uin
ance peculiarly fitted to his case.
President Oakes stated upon the for
feiture of the Northern Pacific grant
from Wallula that the value of the lands
confirmed to the company by this action
was $1,000,000,000. One would suppose
that this amount would satisfy even the
deglutive capacity of a railroad corpora
tion, but the dispatches announce that
that company are desirious of possessing
a little more land and are making an
effort to claim the odd sections of the
Puyallup reservation. Its attorney
General McNaught deprecates the idea
that the company wants the land, but
says that both Secretaries Vilas and
Noble insist that it belongs to them and
they must take it, and it would be im
polite to refuse.
The democratic wing of the senate is
apparently victorious in the fight on the
election bill. It is not knocked out but it
has been made to yield its coign of van
tage, and give place to the apportion
ment bill. It is not probable that it can
be again brought up in time to pass, or
for that matter that it can be passed.
Senator Hearst's ,death might make it
possible but this is a consequential
speculation not worth considering. The
bill is temporarily, at least out- of the
way, and other much needed legislation
will have a chance.
INGALLS RETIRES.
The Honorable John J. Lngalls, United
States senator from the great state of
Kansas, was not able to succeed himself
but will retire next March to give place
to hissuccessor the farmers' alliance can
didate, Mr. nefler. Mr. lngalls elec
tion to the senate was an accident, re
sulting from the action of a "bribed legis
lator" named York who accepted a bribe
from Pomeroy for the purpose of expos
ing him, which he did. York was the
example, the precedent which Metcalfe
lollowed in the case of Calkins recently,
but York had the knowledge that the
majority of the Kansas legislators had
Pomerov's monev in their Dockets, and
when he denounced him none were bold
enough to vote for him. In the demorali
zation that followed lngalls was nomi
nated and elected. He is a brainy, bril
liant man, armed like a hornet with a
butcher knife and a srill of aaua fort.
and made himself felt, as well a heard,
especially by the democracy. It will be
many years before Kansas sends his
equal to the senate, for which the
democracy and Senator Vorhees are
vebementlv elad. He would hnvn r
tired from office much more gracefully
and with much more honor had he not
tried to truckle to his enemies, the farm
ers' alliance whom he should have known
and understood better, than to have
tried to placate. They boasted that
their ambition was to down lngalls and
lie should have realized that he was
beaten, and went down with flying

Stalked by a Panther.
Kajph Flynn, a rancher living at
Wayne, on the Seattle, Lake Shore and
Eastern railway, him had a danerernnst
encounter with a panther and narrowly
escaped tne ciaws or tne beast.
Flynn started hunting early one morn
ing, taking with him a Winchester rifle
of the latest patent, which he had just
bought and had not learned to handle
with skill. He was looking principally
for deer, and had gone about five miles
tnrougn a deep thicket when he came
suddenly upon the partially devoured
carcass of a sheep, which had evidently
fallen a prey to a panther. Remember
ing reports of sheep having been killed
by wild animals in riis rmVliWknn
Flynn hastened on, nerving himself for
a tussie wim a cougar or some equally
fierce beast. With the assurance that
his gun was prepared he cautiously eyed
every nook as he passed, occasionally
seeing iresn traces or varmints.
Flynn traveled on about two miles in
una manner witnout success, and gave
up the chase on that line. He had just
turned to retrace his steps when his eye
caught what seemed to be a dog's head
peering at mm over a log. A second
look proved to Flynn that it was
pantner instead of a dog. Taking de
li Derate aim, Flynn rested his rifle
against a tree and fired at the animal's
head. The ball only stunned t.hn Vim to
which, with a crazy leap, made toward
riynn. ne latter s delay in reloading
on account of the new patent nearly
proved fatal to himself, as the panther
was witmu twenty feet of rnm when he
shot it dead between the eyes. The
brute was between Flynn and the sheep's
carcass, and had followed him by its
keen scent for two miles.
It measured nine feet from tip to tip
and its hide is now a trophy highly
